Part Eighteen

With one final kiss, his lips leave her own, for the last time. She closed the door behind her, refusing to turn back. On faded blue lines she wrote to her to her family wishing them the best. Her skin crimson and cut, her arms  alone told more stories than paper ever could.

I never planned on writing a goodbye to everyone I cared about but once I started I just couldn't stop. I wrote to all those I'd wronged, those who had wronged me. My pen never came to a halt until the last letter. The triplets. They had turned my life upside down like nothing else had. It felt like hours before I gave up with only a single line written. I got up from the floor, leaving the papers on the bed, I climbed it and took the step. It was time. 

"I'm sorry I couldn't be the Mother you deserved"

Part Twenty One

*Knox’s PoV*

Part Twenty

*Codie’s PoV*

Mum walked from the podium to the casket, pausing momentarily before returning to her seat beside me and the triplets. The celebrant spoke a few words before calling me up to talk. With shaky hands and tear stained cheeks I forced myself upwards. Placed the wrinkled papers on the podium and pressed my palms against them hard attempting to flatten the one last time.

“Hey everyone, thank you all from coming today. I'm Codie, or as Mum just admitted, the good twin. Although Corah and I were born as a pair and spent our entire childhood together, we were as different as anyone else in this room. And with her departure I… I…”

Tears fell from my eyes, down my cheeks and dropped off my chin in the blink of an eye. My legs began to tremble and I collapsed onto the cold wooden floor in a puddle of my own tears.

“I can't do this”

In a hurry Nyx rushed to my side pulling me off the ground and pulling me close to her.

“Can I finish it for you Mum?” 

I nodded feebly and looked at my toes while Nyx spoke.

Part Nineteen

*Trinity’s PoV*

“Hello everyone, as I stand here today I see so many faces dearest to our Corah. For those who don’t know me, I’m Trinity, Corah’s Mum. Corah was welcomed into the world on April the 4th along with Codie to myself and the late Kitt, and an older brother Atlas, in Sunset Valley. She would hate me for saying this, but we all know it, hell she knew it, Corah was the bad twin.”

*Audience laughs in agreement*

“Something I had never admitted to Corah was that I knew she was being  little feral behind mine and Kitt’s backs. Causing many an argument Kitt and I over missing cigarette packets, but we both figured it out when the bathroom would stink of smoke. We let it slide for a while, but eventually I had enough of the wandering smokes and I stormed through the house looking for her only to find her, one leg out of her bedroom window, smoke dangling from her lips and my smoke packet poking out of her bra. And I am one hundred percent sure that's the Corah you all knew and remember.”

Part Seventeen

Full of regret I slid my key into the keyhole and turned the knob, I pushed the door open to the dark house I promised I’d never come back to. Once in, mmy eyes imediately fell to Knox sitting on the couch by Codie.

Corah: “What are you doing here?”

Codie: “Corah- We’re so worried about-”

Corah: “i don’t care. Don’t tell me. Its about time you cheated on THIS husband hey Codie? Haven’t even signed the divorce papers and you’re already latching on to him!”

Codie: “Its not-”

*Knox pulls Corah into a tight embrace*

Knox: “I’m so sorry. Please. Please. I promise to be better”

Part Eleven

Oddy: “Call them for what you fucking whore?”

Corah: “Oh you wanna try? I know you two. Selling drugs, growing drugs, taking drugs, I bet you both have them on you. Hitting your fucking loved ones Oddysus! Want me to keep going?”

*Grabs Corah by the throat*

Corah: “Fuck off or I’m calling the cops”

Seth: “What the hell got into you Corah, you used to be fun, then you fuck off and pop out some kids and change just like that” 

*Snaps fingers*

Corah: “Both of you are parents, but all I see is two drugged up, useless cunts.”

Part Ten

Oddy: “I doubt she’ll be up. It like 12 o’clock, chicks get boring once they’re mums”

Seth: “Dude, she left while we were in the shed”

Oddy: “Ah. yeah. Knock then”

*Knocks*

*Silence*

Oddy: “Did Vesta come home with you?”

Corah: “Yeah. And you both fucking know why. Get out of my sight before I call the cops.”

Part Twelve

Oddy: “This isn’t about that- Its about Arti now give her back”

Corah: “Fucking hell guys, I thought you were better than this”

Seth: “No I’m not better than that and neither are you! Fuck, call me a crackhead all you like but at least I’m not the one who runs away from all my friends for months on a crack binge with some old cunt”

Corah: “You have no fucking clue do you Seth? I didn’t go on some fucking crack binge, Luna and I were held or months in a fucking basement, raped over and over again. And you have the fucking nerve to come over here and tell me that I was off binging?”

Seth: “Luna said that was your cover story for pity. To get us all to forgive you. To get some rich bastard to sympathize and give you everything you want, and it fucking worked! Look at you! Your fancy house with your fancy husband who gave you a fancy ring. You’re so fake Corah.”

Corah: “Good!”
